The music was loud. When she opened her eyes, the crowd was moving around, shaking their head while Lauren felt like she was stuck in a trance. Facing the nervous and concerned look of the man, she suddenly couldn't distinguish between reality and dream.

Unconsciously, she whispered in doubt, "Zedd?"

The next second, a force suddenly fell on her shoulder. "Shame on you! Who are you? Why are you seducing men here?"

Feeling her shoulder starting to hurt, Lauren suddenly came back to her senses, and was stunned by the unfamiliar face of the woman in front of her. Who was she?

Her gaze shifted between the beautiful woman in a luxurious dress and Zedd. Lauren was confused. Other than Kylie, was he also entangled in a relationship with another woman?

Lauren frowned slightly. As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she was shoved again. "What are you looking at? This is my cousin's husband!"

Standing between the two, Hallie glanced at Zedd warningly. Her gaze then fell on Lauren, giving her a glare.

"Wow, the goddess decided to drop by! The one pretending to be high and mighty but did all sorts of dirty things!" Hallie sarcastically said.

"Why do you pretend to be pitiful? You won't get anyone's sympathy! Stay away from my cousin! Did your mother not bring you up well?"

She initially couldn't be bothered with Hallie, but as soon as Hallie mentioned "mother", Lauren couldn't hold back anymore.

"Oh, he's your cousin's husband? If I didn't know, I would have thought that he's your husband! Dogs must like poking their nose into other people's business!"

"Who are you calling a dog?" Hallie was so angry that she raised her hand.

She violently pushed Lauren again. Although she was prepared, Lauren still couldn't dodge due to the body-fitting dress and the high-heels that she was not used to being in. She turned sideways and frowned again. Her back was suddenly up against the door. Hallie still kept her aggressive momentum. "Don't you feel ashamed for not behaving properly at an engagement banquet?"

"Our society is in shambles because of shameless women like you! Who gave you the gall to come here and behave atrociously?" Before Lauren could stand firm, she was pushed back once again. She staggered, instinctively turning to lean against the door for her support. Unfortunately, she hit a passing waiter, and with a series of cracking sounds, she fell to the ground.
